  • Nothing would please our billionaire overlords more than all of us “little people” getting the hell off earth for another planet. It’s unlikely anything comparable to the paradise of this planet, even in a global warming event or an ice age, will be reachable any time soon.

    And we should leave it for them? Duck that.

    My dad worked on an assembly line making vacuum tubes. After that he was a calculator repairman for most of his life.

    Calculator Repairman.

    An entire life that is obsolete now. Because we no longer do much of the drudgery of assembly lines; we have machines that do it. Calculators (and other things) that used to require an entire infrastructure to keep running are now cheap and disposable.

    Why can’t a high school graduate raise a family of four and buy a house? Because this isn’t that world. We’ve eliminated a lot of the jobs the middle class used to do.

    Not on purpose, just because.
